Sliding Fence
The sliding fence must be
extended to the left or right when making bevel
cuts. Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
Failure to extend the sliding fence will not allow
enough space for the blade to pass through. This
could result in serious injury. At extreme miter or
bevel angles the saw blade may also contact the
fence resulting in damage to equipment as well as
personal injury.
The right side sliding fence must be removed when
making any right bevel angle cuts greater than 35º
in combination with any right hand miter angle. This
fence must also be removed whenever a 45º bevel
angle is desired with a miter angle greater than
22.5º.
To adjust the sliding fence (refer to Figure 24):
1. Unlock the fence cam locking lever (A) (shown
locked in Figure 24) by pushing it toward the
rear of the machine.
2. Extend the fence (B) by sliding it out (C) to
match the degree of the bevel cut. Lock the
fence cam locking lever (A) as shown.
Note: Secure the sliding fence in position closest to
the saw blade when transporting the saw.
Removing or Installing the Sliding Fence
Removing
1. Unlock the fence cam locking lever (A, Fig. 24
shows the locked position).
2. Lift up on the sliding fence to remove.
Installing
1. Place the sliding fence onto the miter saw fence
making sure to align the nut on the sliding fence
with the slot in the stationary fence.
2. Lock the sliding fence by push the cam-locking
lever in as shown (A, Fig. 24)
Sliding Carriage System
To reduce the risk of injury,
return carriage to the full rear position after
each crosscut operation.
! For a chop cutting operations on small
workpieces, slide the cutting head assembly
completely toward the rear of the unit and
tighten the carriage lock knob (A, Fig. 25).
! To cut wide boards up to 12-1/4 in., the carriage
lock knob (A, Fig. 25) should be loosened to allow
the cutting head to slide freely.

To avoid injury from materials
being thrown, always unplug the saw to avoid
accidental starting, and remove small pieces of
material from the table cavity. The table insert
may be removed for this purpose, but always
reattach the table insert prior to performing a
cutting operation.
